It’s my mission to help you heal and flourish with movement…and the way pressure impacts our bodies is often forgotten!! It’s super common that everyday habits like our posture, our breathing patterns and how we engage our core can create too much pressure, which leads to pelvic floor issues like stress incontinence, prolapse, pain or related issues like hip pain and diastasis recti. The fix? ✅ Learn and practice correct ribcage alignment ✅ Mobilize tight rib muscles, shoulders & your diaphragm

More tips below ⤵️ If you want a body that feels great and works well especially as you get older, you need strong, healthy feet! Feet are basically the most neglected body part, in fact, we actually damage them - without meaning to - because our modern shoes makes our feet weak, stiff, immobile and squashed into weird shapes. And the worst part is that sad feet aren’t just the cause of foot pain (even though they are and that sucks) but sad feet also mean issues in our knees, hips, pelvic floor

Not sure where to get started? Feeling overwhelmed? The best advice I can give you is to start doing something you think sounds interesting and appealing. Don’t over commit. In fact, under commit. Plan to do something tiny and utterly achievable- you can always do more later. Don’t sweat about finding the ‘perfect’ place to start’. There isn’t one. Literally anything you do will be helpful. Just find something you think you CAN do and you can learn from and that you’re interested in. Don’t worry

I first discovered movement and mobility as a way to heal my chronic injuries (I was always getting something new that stopped me from being active - plantar fasciitis, back & neck pain, pelvic floor stuff, you name it). But what I learned is that movement is for all bodies and all ages. 👉🏼 Movement is what our bodies rely on to work - it’s not just about muscles and joints but also digestion, circulation, breathing, lymph flow, neurology and every other body system Our bodies are suffering fr

Remember: An exercise or movement doesn’t have to be hard, intense or painful to be helpful. In fact, it’s often the opposite. Many of us benefit big time from slowing down, moving gently, and learning to let go of tension instead of creating it. In part, this is because slow, gentle, even kinda boring stuff is actually an ESSENTIAL input for our bodies, so getting some of that is really important. In part this is because a tight, tense human simply can’t move well. Our culture gives us very few

One exercise, 3 minutes a day - what changed? ⤵️ 👉🏻 Improved rib mobility – better expansion in all directions (front, sides, back), reducing stiffness. 👉🏻 Better diaphragm function – strengthens and retrains diaphragm for fuller, lower breathing. 👉🏻 Increased lung capacity & efficiency – more effective oxygen exchange during rest and activity. 👉🏻 Greater core stability – improves coordination of diaphragm, pelvic floor, deep abdominals, and spinal stabilizers. 👉🏻 Less upper-chest/neck

Get the difference? Read below ⤵️ Our hips are big joints with lots of movement potential. So when we spend our lifetimes barely moving our hips, they get sad!! 👉🏼Sitting all the time means our hips get very little loading, and almost always in the same 90 degree-ish position. The solution? Vary how you sit! 👉🏼 Conventional shoes have raised heels, which limits our hips’ ability to extend back when we walk. The solution? Switch to flat soled shoes (and spend some exercise time restoring your

Your body adapts. Your hips learn that position. Your calves settle into barely moving. Your spine rounds to accommodate hours at a desk. Not because something’s wrong with you – because your body is doing exactly what it’s designed to do: get really efficient at your most frequent patterns. Then, we export those shapes to everything else we do. That makes our walking more limited, makes heels down squatting next to impossible, and means our knees, hips, and ankles miss out on the full range of

💣Truth bomb: this common posture ‘fix’ is actually terrible for our bodies! . The way most of us work on our posture is by lifting our ribcage up. . This is actually a movement of the ribcage & involves a ton of movement in a single spinal joint but very little movement anywhere else. . The results? . It hides our rounded upper backs by displacing them, not by changing them! . Plus, it leads to too much mobility at that ‘bra strap’ area of our spines & stickiness everywhere else. Especially in

👉🏼True fact: knees need rotation. If your knees hurt, simply learning to rotate them can often help them feel better. 🤯Novel movement is one of the best ways we know to decrease pain. Plus regular active knee rotation can decrease inflammation, improve knee tissue health and knee joint function, and strengthen the connective tissues around the knee. And knee rotation is a key to good supination & pronation patterns in walking. Here are three rotation options to try: 1. Passive (start here) -

Try this to work on your walk! Walking technique is important but the best way to improve your walk is studio exercises that build your mobility & capacity. That’s because walking is VERY complex - when we try to consciously override our walking technique we usually just do weird stuff. 👉🏼 This one helps your feet, calves & hamstrings get stronger as a unit, which is how they should work when you walk. And it builds lots of strength & connection with your deep calf muscles (the soleus). Fair w

What you need to know about pronation and supination - maybe the most misunderstood movement pattern in our bodies! Here’s the basics: 👉🏻Our feet can both TWIST and UNTWIST 👉🏻 Twisting, AKA supination, is how we create a rigid lever to push us forward when we walk. 👉🏻Untwisting, AKA pronation, is how we absorb shock with our feet (this helps keep our knees happy). 👉🏻 We need BOTH to walk well (and walking well is one of the best movement gifts we can give to our entire bodies). 👉🏻 If y

Ok, so here’s the thing: both rocks and weight vests are adding LOAD to your walks. That can be a great thing but weight vests add a single unchanging repetitive load and rocks give you huge variety. That’s a big deal because what our bodies need is VARIETY. That’s because the benefits you get from load are extremely specific. Doing the same thing all the time only affects a limited number of your cells, which leads to some parts being overused and other parts being underused. And THAT, my frien
